The Balloon Boy

Have a newsworthy cocktail hour with this week's current-events-inspired concoction. This cocktail honors that balloon boy who evidently watched Up one too many times. After the silvery homemade aircraft's odyssey over Colorado finally came to an end, it turned out that the kid wasn't inside after all—he was hiding in the attic. You got punked, America, by a storm-chasing, fame-mongering, reality-television family.

1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
